Chapter Twenty-Seven: Knock at the Door
In the dark night of the long wait, there seems to be a sun shining from afar. In the middle of the night, there was a human voice, and the young man strolled leisurely, holding an ice cream in his mouth and a delicate peach blossom in his hand.
Qi Tu finally came, although Xu Anchuan had no waves. He quietly looked at the belated figure, not sad or happy. Green smoke rose from the incense burner, like a tangled vine slowly flowing and escaping on Xu Anchuan's body.
"Miss Ji, what do you think?"
Asked casually, Qi Tu frowned slightly, took off the ice cream stick left by the ice cream in his mouth, wrapped it in the white silk in his pocket and took it back.
The yellow rune turned into green smoke and dissipated around his fingers, and Ji Taoyan looked at the visitor through the rose-red veil, and a pair of clear wine-red eyes lit up slightly. This guy has finally arrived, although he still looks like a nonchalant and unobtrusive bastard.
"Yo, I didn't expect that the shopkeeper Qi would also visit me late at night, this cold and remote place, the little woman was very scared~"
The wide skirt sleeves swayed, and the light blue ribbon came out of his hand and rolled up the silent Xu Anchuan. Ji Taoyan pulled Xu Anchuan and stood side by side.
With a slight wave of his hand, the six strange white-dressed disciples beside Ji Zhiyan received the signal from their master, bowed and saluted, and with the small cracks that appeared on the mound in a flash, they disappeared and returned home.
"Could it be that the treasurer of Qi Da, a well-respected old-timer with a pile of gold and jade, would also care about the unintentional words of a young woman with a little apprentice who fell into a wasteland and a wild grave?"
Hiding her face with her sleeves, Ji Taoyan's body trembled slightly, her voice choked, and she looked like a lonely and weak little woman who was crying and moving.
Xu Anchuan did not squint, his face was expressionless, and his left arm was gently wrapped and pulled by the soft ribbon sticking out of Ji Tao's cigarette sleeve. Several slender light blue streamers were picked up by the wind, gently brushing his body. Under the appearance of the close and friendly master and apprentice, the arm wrapped in the ribbon gradually lost consciousness, bruised and bruised.
"Well, Miss Ji does have love, and she is kind and filial."
Holding his chin in his hand, Qi Tu looked at the two of them and nodded.
"However, love is love, and the truth is the truth. Since Miss Ji is unreasonable, she should give a reason. ”
"Fame is related to business fortune, Qi Tu is a serious and reasonable businessman, and we are acquaintances and neighbors. The calculation is similar to the loss of reputation fee, moral compensation fee, lost time pay, etc. I don't want much, money is useless to me, and there are few girls with spirit stones and spiritual things, and my own needs are insufficient. If not, it would be good to compensate someone for working with me to pay off the debt. ”
Familiarly took out a long roll of paper from his pocket, and Qi Tu, an empathetic conscience and good person, smiled gently at Ji Taoyan. Pulled out the note and approached step by step, and then handed the note to the woman in a serious manner.
Ji Taoyan frowned, and the note handed over ignited a fire, Qi Tu didn't care, just gently blew out the flame, and shook off the smoke and black ash with the note in his hand.
"Paying for someone?"
"As the saying goes, a teacher is like a father, a teacher for one day and a father for life. The so-called tiger poison does not eat children. ”
"The little woman has no long things, so the shopkeeper of Qi Da wants it."
Ji Taoyan exclaimed, then waved her skirt sleeves, smiled brightly, and said in a charming and seductive voice.
"There is a mistake to be paid, and it is justified."
"Even so, the little woman can only agree."
"I hope you have mercy."
Ying Ying smiled, the semi-transparent veil of rose red shone with moonlight, and Ji Taoyan shyly fell to the smiling Qi Tu in front of her.
"Ahem! Miss Ji. ”
The invisible force formed a barrier of separation, Qi Tu coughed dryly, and ate Ji Taoyan with a soft nail with an apologetic greeting.
"The girl is as expensive as a fairy, Qi is just a crowd in the market, and the pearl cannot be dusted."
"The father's debts are repaid by the son, and the teacher's debts are repaid by the apprentices."
"I don't want you, I want him."
Qi Tu smiled apologetically, and patted Xu Anchuan on the shoulder, scattering the ribbons that bound him.
"Qi knew that Miss Ji was kind-hearted, and she was afraid that the young juniors would get lost in the night, so she took her home to be accompanied by her beloved apprentice."
"Master Ci apprentice filial piety, you love me, it is indeed a good story."
"Mountains and rivers meet, and there will be a period later."
Qi Tu took the silent Xu Anchuan and waved goodbye to Ji Taoyan, with a natural smile on his handsome face. With their backs to the mound, the two slowly walked away one after the other.
The moonlight is bright, and the dew between the flowers is crystal clear. A peach blossom wrapped in red silk fell gently, and Ji Taoyan took it carefully. Looking at the two people who were far away, the corners of the mouth hidden by the red gauze raised slightly.
Qi Tu, you can't escape from my palm! The man I have taken a fancy to has never missed, and you will not be an exception.
The old lady has been chasing you for thirty years, and you ruthless bad man is still indifferent. But now the initiative is in my hands, the incense has been accepted, the contract has been concluded, Xu Anchuan has entered the yin vein, and the cause and effect have been planted, I don't believe you will be indifferent.
There seem to be thousands of stars twinkling in the wine-red eyes, a blue dress fluttering with the wind like sea waves, and the peach smoke is full of spring breeze, with all kinds of styles.
She slowly opened the red silk wrapped in peach branches, the bright peach blossom branches replaced the green leaves and green hairpins between the hair, and the three delicate peach blossoms bloomed like three pink flames in the inky green silk.
The red silk in his hand was spread out, but it was a letter, on which the small ink characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix danced:
"Hi, hello Miss Ji, I think you're reading this letter right now.
Miss Ji, you can't restrain Xu Anchuan. He is not the apprentice I want to accept, Qi is just his guide for a while. Well, more importantly, he owes me a lot and has to work for me to pay off the bills.
If the incense is not put into the furnace, the apprentice cannot be received. Kowtow ancestors are not accepted, and the sect has no chance. If the document is not deed, it cannot be suppressed. Unfortunately, the girl's efforts were in vain.
But thanks to the girl, your psychological blow and intimidation of words and deeds made Qi spend a lot less effort to sharpen the real side of the world as a simple teenager.
Qi Tu's family is poor and his business is cold. Only a peach blossom was given to the girl, and Qi knew that the girl liked the nature of plants and trees, so the peach branch was also folded in the most aura of Taoyuan Hutong, a thousand-year-old peach. The courtesy is light and affectionate, and I hope the girl likes it.
Oh, I almost forgot to remind the girl. Jiazi is short, the white horse passes through the gap, and the Taoyuan shop will be shuffled again.
Recently, the aura of the human world has become more and more full and strong, the ancient broken cultivation road has continued for a while, the ancient bridge on the other side of the starry sky will be opened, the lost existence has sprung up and reborn, and the ancient land of the spiritual realm has frequently appeared in the world. Many of the Taoist friends in Taoyuan have entered the country to explore and experience, and their strength has been greatly improved, and Miss Ji's lover is a protector of the family, and she has not entered the WTO for a long time, so she asked attentively.
The sword has no eyes, and the war will start. Taoyuan shop number is limited, newcomers and old people will eventually have a difference, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is not impossible for the gutter to capsize, and the girl has been concentrating on retreat recently.
Your most conscientious neighbor Qi Tu handwritten. ”
Holding the red silk tightly, the silver teeth bit the red lips, the blue light surged on the slender jade hand, looking at the two of them who disappeared in the darkness in the distance, Ji Taoyan's eyes were like sharp swords, and the cold light flashed in the wine-red pupils.
The blue skirt fluttered, and she dodged to the Yin Heavy Treasure - the last thousand-year-old peach tree in the world that contained spiritual luck.
The jade hand trembled slightly, and heartache stroked the blood tree sap that flowed out of the newly broken mouth. Ji Taoyan pulled out the peach blossom hairpin in the middle of the hair, angry but couldn't bear to break it, was silent for a long time, and shouted angrily in the direction of the fog:
"Qi Tu!"
"King/Eight/Egg, big bastard! You wolf-hearted dog man! ”
......
"Xiao Xu, did you hear anything?"
Rubbing his ears, Qi Tu turned to look at Xu Anchuan, who was walking silently behind him with his head down, without saying a word.
"Nope."
Xu Anchuan lowered his head and followed, silently counting the steps under his feet, not knowing what to think in his heart. Faced with Qi Tu's sudden pause to ask questions, he just shook his head and replied with a heavy heart.
"Maybe it's an auditory hallucination. Well, my ears are a little hot, probably because some thin-skinned people are embarrassed to thank me for my helpfulness, so they have to praise me behind my back for my kindness. ”
Qi Tu patted Xu Anchuan on the shoulder and gave him a confident and proud smile.
"Qi, oh, boss."
Raising his head, in Qi Tu's suddenly frowning and increasingly dangerous smile, Xu Anchuan recalled the title he taught him when he first saw Qi Tu in the Red Moon World.
"Boss, what time is it?"
The hands on the dial swayed frantically from side to side like an epileptic seizure, and the watch in the hand had long since lost its value of referencing time.
Xu Anchuan looked up at the bright moon that seemed to have no trace of movement in the sky, and was secretly anxious in his heart. After all, he didn't notify Ms. Xia of his midnight appointment this time. I went out secretly, walked through the long Taoyuan laneway, and was abducted and tortured by the weird crazy woman Ji Taoyan for a long time.
He has just "come back from the dead" in the eyes of his mother, and if he suddenly "evaporates from the world" and disappears, I am afraid that the successive huge blows will really make Ms. Xia, who is strong on the surface and sensitive in her heart, break down.
Xu Anchuan was anxious in his heart, and he still needed to maintain a calm appearance on the surface and ask Qi Tu in front of him.
"Well, it's just past twelve, it's past seven o'clock, what's wrong?"
"So today is May 20th?"
"Well, don't worry, you didn't run out of time. Our engagement has just begun, let's go, it's almost there. ”
Qi Tu turned around and replied casually.
Time is so slow? It's just past twelve o'clock? What was the weird experience I had just had for so long?
Xu Anchuan was full of confusion, looking around at the strange and bizarre dead darkness around him, and his heart was cold. The cold night wind blew a shiver through his sweat-soaked body, and he hurriedly followed Qi Tu's footsteps.
"Three-nine-thirty-six, three-nine-thirty-seven."
Stepping on the path paved with blue bricks, with gentle steps, Xu Anchuan silently counted the long and silent journey he had walked.
Finally, we reached the brightly lit place. The tall buildings of the city are faintly visible in the distance, and at the end of the alley, a simple ancient wooden house is revealed in the modern steel and iron building walled by the city, and the deep and unknown darkness continues in the alleyway behind the house.
A small oil-paper lamp hangs in front of the house, the ebony plaque contains the luster of black jade, and the dancing candlelight illuminates the three small inscriptions on it.
"Penglaidang".
Qi Tu didn't know when he had disappeared in front of him, facing the dark wooden door, Xu Anchuan was hesitant and restless in his heart.
I know that the answer is right in front of me, but the more I want to knock on the door, the more difficult it is for the hand to knock.
"Bang Bang~"
"Crunch~"
The wooden door opened, and the oncoming wind mixed with the smell of tea and blood......
